Texas Tech paleontologist contributes to flying drone design based on prehistoric flying reptile.
Texas Tech University paleontologist Sankar Chaterjee and Rick Lind, an aeronautical engineer from the University of Florida, have developed a 30-inch robotic spy plane modeled after a 225 million-year-old pterodactyl.
The drone, featuring a strange design of a rudder at the nose of the craft instead of the tail, would gather data from sights, sounds and smells in urban combat zones and transmit information back to a command center.
According to Chatterjee and Lind, this project will demonstrate a next-generation capability of sensor emplacement using a pterodactyl as the model animal.
